SINGAPORE - Singapore's badminton contingent completed their 2014 Thomas and Uber Cup campaigns on a positive note when both the men's and women's teams secured victories in their final group games in New Delhi in India yesterday.

The men won 5-0 against Nigeria to finish third in Group A of the Thomas Cup, behind Indonesia and Thailand.

The women also secured third place in Group X of the Uber Cup, behind South Korea and Indonesia, after a 5-0 defeat of Australia at the Siri Fort Sports Complex in the Indian capital.

Although both teams exited the tournament early after losing their first two of three group games, Ronnie Lim, chief executive officer of the Singapore Badminton Association, was still pleased with their overall performance.

"Our players have gained invaluable experience from being exposed to such a prestigious tournament. The immediate focus is to evaluate the players' performance and work on their strengths and weaknesses for the upcoming Commonwealth and Asian Games."
